Tingbjerg Library and Culture House is finalist for Danish Design Award 2019 in the category 'Livable Cities' - nominated with the following words from the Jury:

"The Tingbjerg Library and Culture House is a bold statement that addresses the notion of a dangerous area in the city and the notion of a library building itself. The store-front approach of displaying culture to the local community is very effective. COBE have designed a building of both high quality and craftsmanship. The library helps bring back trust, community and public life to the area, thus contributing to a more liveable city."

Every year, Danish Design Award gathers the broad business life, the design industry and the entire country to celebrate the difference design solutions can make in socity and everyday life. The winner will be announced at the award show May 13 2019.

On March 14, COBE's Founder Dan Stubbergaard will give a public lecture at Aarhus School of Architecture as a part of the international lecture series Nordic Perspectives.

A client group consisting of Dream Unlimited, Kilmer Van Nostrand Co. Limited and Tricon Capital Group has commissioned COBE to develop a large scale mixed-use residential development in Toronto’s downtown east in collaboration with architectsAlliance.

Consisting of three buildings, two of which COBE has designed, the project contains 761 market rental apartment units including 30 percent affordable rental units which are indistinguishable in their design. Located in a former industrial area, called West Don Lands, the site is an intersection of three distinct neighbourhoods. The project stacks the architectural components from the three neigbourhoods: townhouses, warehouses and silos, creating a complex that both adapts to its surroundings and contributes by adding new distinctive, robust architecture. The project provides all residents with a generous apartment, flooded with light through floor-to-ceiling windows and access to attractive amenity spaces. All in all the project encourages public life and a sense of community among the residents and the local community

Groundbreaking takes place mid-2019, and completion is scheduled for early 2022. The project is one of four COBE is currently undertaking in North America.

On 10 April, COBE's founder Dan Stubbergaard will be giving a lecture at COBE and MVRDV's newly inaugurated Roskilde Festival Folk High School. During the lecture, he will be sharing his own journey from being a young aspiring architect and folk high school student, to founding COBE.

Today is the official opening of Roskilde Festival Folk High School – the first new-build general folk high school in Denmark for 50 years. The new folk high school is designed by COBE and MVRDV, the same partnership that created the nearby RAGNAROCK Museum in the creative Musicon district in the city of Roskilde, DK.

The 5.578 m2 school is situated in a former concrete production hall and offers a setting for learning based on the same ideals as the annual music festival Roskilde Festival. COBE and MVRDV have renovated and opened the former factory hall up by adding large windows while preserving the existing structure. The hall, which was originally a single open space, now houses 16 large boxes in different colours and materials. The boxes contain a variety of functions, such as workshops for the school’s artistic courses, stages, music studios, dance hall, classrooms, staff room and a lecture hall. In addition to the folk high school the project also includes dwellings for students and teachers.
